Chapter 1620

The appearance of the eighth rank alien put a lot of pressure on everyone, and some of them couldn't help but look shocked.

The difference of one rank was the comprehension of the world's laws. This was a huge gap.

Just as everyone was at a loss, Wharton, who was usually quiet, stepped forward and walked straight towards the eighth rank alien. "You guys go deal with the others."

Everyone was very surprised. They didn't expect Wharton to stand up at this time.

Suddenly, Wharton felt his vision blur, and then he saw Zi Chen's back. Zi Chen appeared in front of Wharton and said without looking back, "This guy has some enmity with me. Let me deal with him."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Even Wharton looked at Zi Chen in surprise.

"Let's end this quickly." Zi Chen's voice sounded again, and he rushed towards the eighth rank alien.

"Let's go."

Wharton's expression changed slightly, and he led the others forward.

"It's you, human."

The eighth rank alien recognized Zi Chen at a glance. With a shout, he slashed at Zi Chen with his blade.

Zi Chen blocked with his spear, and the sound of metal clanging echoed.

Clang.

The weapons collided, and sparks flew everywhere. Zi Chen retreated, the spear in his hand trembling.

In a clash of strength, Zi Chen, who was at a lower rank, was clearly weaker.

The eighth rank alien tapped his foot, and his body soared into the air. Holding his blade with both hands, he slashed at Zi Chen.

A ray of light lit up on the blade, and a five-meter-long blade light shot out. As it slashed down, the surrounding space distorted, and a spatial pressure enveloped Zi Chen.

Facing this attack, Zi Chen's expression couldn't help but change. The opponent's use of power had obviously reached the level of spatial laws. Every attack contained spatial pressure, which was equivalent to using a king-rank battle skill in the Zhanwu Continent.

Swish.

Zi Chen's body glowed, and energy shook like a tide. After slightly dispelling the spatial pressure, he dodged to the side.

The blade light hit the ground, and a ten-meter-long crack appeared on the ground.

After dodging the attack, Zi Chen pointed his spear at the eighth stage alien's chest. Because this attack was so fast, the space around it let out an ear-piercing screech.

Clang.

Hurriedly waving his saber to block, the alien lost his balance and fell back. Zi Chen's figure flashed, and he once again attacked with his spear. For a moment, the sky was filled with spear shadows.

It could be said that Zi Chen was not at a disadvantage against an eighth rank foreign being. The two of them exchanged blows back and forth, locked in a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, Wharton and the others took advantage of the fact that Zi Chen was stalling for time to attack the other outsiders.

"Bang!"

Wharton punched out, the blazing fist light slamming into a late-stage seventh-level Ascendant. The latter's body trembled, and he coughed out blood as he was sent flying.

With a tap of his foot, Wharton soared into the air. A broadsword appeared in his hand, and he chopped down with it.

"Pu." A head was chopped off. Wharton had cleanly and efficiently killed an opponent at the same level as him.

Immediately afterwards, the others quickly followed, and for a moment, all sorts of energy clashed.

At the beginning of the battle, the eighth stage alien was blocked by Zi Chen. The outsiders were clearly at a disadvantage, and the eighth stage alien was constantly pinned down by Zi Chen. One by one, they died.

Unable to take down this seventh-level human, the eighth stage alien was furious. Seeing his subordinates die one after another, he was both anxious and furious.

"Die!" With a roar, he didn't care about anything else and directly used his strongest move.

A huge beast shadow appeared behind him. As soon as the beast shadow appeared, the energy in the world began to surge wildly, as if a peerless monster had appeared.

The beast shadow's cold eyes stared fixedly at Zi Chen.

When the eighth stage alien, who was almost at his peak, used this move, the power was far stronger than before.

Under the terrifying surge of energy, the distant battlefield came to a standstill. Everyone's eyes turned in this direction.

When the humans saw the huge beast shadow, their faces all changed. Feeling the terrifying power, their eyes were filled with despair. Under such circumstances, it seemed that even Wharton would not be able to block this move, let alone Zi Chen, who was in the middle stage of the seventh stage. Perhaps only an experienced expert of the same level would have a chance of blocking it.

When the outsiders saw the huge beast shadow, their eyes were filled with envy. Then, they cheered loudly. Clearly, the summoning of the totemic beast meant that the outcome of this battle had been decided.

The huge beast shadow stretched out its claws and pressed down on Zi Chen.

In the eyes of the crowd, this attack was very slow, as if the beast's movements were completely controlled. But in reality, this attack had activated the power of space. It just gave people the illusion that it was very slow.

They believed that as the person involved, Zi Chen, must be unable to move at this moment.

Sure enough, Zi Chen did not move at all. He did not even have time to struggle before the claw pressed down on his head.

"Peng."

Energy surged, and Zi Chen's body directly exploded.

"It's over." The crowd of humans was stunned, but they felt a little strange in their hearts.

As for the outsiders, because of their fanatical worship of the totemic beast, they all cheered.

Even the eighth stage alien had a hint of a smile on his face. But just as this smile appeared, before it could disappear, a sense of danger appeared in his heart.

The long saber in his hand lit up, and he was about to slash backwards when suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded in his ears. "You only reacted now? It's too late."

A bright saber light flashed past, and the armor-piercing, sharpness, and poison effects were all activated. The saber light flashed past the eighth stage alien's neck, and his head flew high into the air.

In the records of the Desperate Soldiers List in the Imperial Sky City, Zi Chen's contribution points suddenly increased by ten points. This meant that Zi Chen had killed an eighth stage alien.

Unfortunately, there were no longer any outsiders paying attention to the Desperate Soldiers List. In the hearts of the outsiders, it seemed that most of the humans were already dead.

The cheers of the outsiders were stuck in their throats. Their eyes were wide open, and they stared at the headless corpse in disbelief. Some of the outsiders slowly turned their heads, and their necks seemed to be stiff, and it was very difficult for them to turn. Their gazes landed on Zi Chen, and their eyes were filled with shock.

The other humans were also stunned. They did not expect such a scene. Even Wharton had a look of confusion on his face.

"This idiot. If he had attacked directly, he would have done something. Unfortunately, he had to act cool."

Zi Chen sneered in his heart. It seemed that the attack from the outsider was very powerful, but after Zi Chen's speed increased, he still had the chance to react.

If the outsider had shot out two attacks from his eyes, Zi Chen would have been heavily injured even if he dodged. But now, Zi Chen did not even have a light injury.

"Pu."

Another human head flew down, startling the people who were still in a daze. Zi Chen had already rushed into the group of Mutants.

After waking up, everyone seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. They roared as they charged at the outsiders. Because of the deaths of their experts, the outsiders' confidence had greatly decreased, and some of them were even preparing to flee.

This battle ended with total annihilation.

Among them, Zi Chen, who had obtained an eight-fold heart and a few other hearts, could be considered to have gained the most.

This seemed to have become a habit. After every battle, in their eyes, Grandmaster Zi Chen would gain the most, even more than Wharton.

And on the battlefield, Grandmaster Zi Chen was just like Lord Zi Chen.

After the battle ended, the next step was to clean up the battlefield.

A day later, after killing a few more outsiders, Zi Chen and the others saw a large city in the distance.

This was already over three thousand kilometers deep into the Dax Plains. This was the first city they had encountered.

At this point, they had already been in the Dax Plains for three months. Their gains were so great that Zi Chen and Wharton's bags of holding were completely full. There was no helping it. Only the two of them had bags of holding, so everyone's gains were all in their hands.

Seeing the city in the distance, Wharton said, "I heard that the Dax Plains are distributed like us humans, with each realm occupying a city. This must be the seven-fold city."

"Really?" Zi Chen looked at Wharton.

"I'm not sure. I've only heard of it," Wharton said.

"That won't do. Even the seven-fold city we're in has a ninth-stage expert. There must be one here as well." A hint of worry flashed through Miu Si's eyes.

The others were also very worried, but at a time like this, everyone's gaze unconsciously fell on Zi Chen, waiting for Zi Chen to make a decision.

After pondering for a moment, Zi Chen looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, I feel that this city is tight on the outside, but loose on the inside. Perhaps, it is incomparably empty. This might be an opportunity for us, an opportunity for us to spread our names throughout the Battlefield of Despair. Of course, our original intention is still to harvest."

Hearing Zi Chen's words, everyone was slightly tempted, but some were still very worried.

"What if there's a ninth-stage expert in the city?" a cultivator asked worriedly.

"At a time like this, do you think the outsiders would put a ninth-stage expert here?" Zi Chen didn't answer, but instead asked a question.

"Then there should be one in the eighth-stage."

"Leave the eighth-stage to me."

Everyone was a bit surprised, but Zi Chen said, "Everyone, don't worry. If we see that the situation is bad, we'll immediately run. But let's say this first. After we enter, don't be too far away from each other."

Everyone nodded, their faces filled with fervor.

Next, it was time to recover from all their injuries and adjust their battle prowess to peak condition.

Two days later, a group of twenty-six people rushed towards the majestic city of the outsiders.

The city gate was guarded by outsiders, but they were all seventh-stage experts. After Zi Chen and the others rushed to the gate, they slaughtered and then directly charged into the city.

This was the first time the humans had truly attacked this city. For a moment, everyone's faces were filled with excitement. Even Zi Chen was no longer calm.

"Die."

An eighth-stage outsider appeared, his body surging with a powerful aura.

"Continue the slaughter." Zi Chen shouted and charged towards the eighth-stage outsider.

"Pu."

After consuming thirty percent of his strength, Zi Chen killed the outsider with a single strike. Immediately after, the Dragon Soul Spear's devouring and feedback effect was activated, recovering thirty percent of his strength.

Seeing Zi Chen almost insta-kill the eighth-stage outsider, everyone cheered and charged into the city.

Zi Chen's powerful spiritual sense spread out. He was looking for the outsiders' trading location. This was actually the main reason why Zi Chen attacked this city.

Just as Zi Chen led people into the city, in the distant horizon, a huge object appeared in the void.

This was a very ancient looking warship. Its entire body was black, and at the front of the warship was a huge, ferocious, and mighty dragon skeleton. In its eye sockets, two cold dragon eyes were still there.
